Summit on Housing and the Canadian Economy

Host:
Canadian Housing and Renewal Association, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities

Event Type:
Summit

Come together with leaders from across the Canadian economy and society for a one-day summit to focus on housing affordability

Housing affordability’s impact on the labour market, economic productivity, poverty, and economic advancement cannot be ignored. Housing construction and development is a powerful economic engine in Canada. By any measure of human impact, social impact, and economic impact, the system is broken.

CHRA, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities are co-hosting a summit bringing together leaders from multiple economic sectors to explore the links between a strong Canadian economy and housing affordability, find solutions, make connections, and identify actions.
